Chapter 65 Killing weapon

Chen Ying proudly explained to Li Jiancheng: "This knife is made of high manganese steel. I dare to pat the crown prince's chest and guarantee that in this world, there is absolutely no sharper knife than it. It is the legendary magic weapon. Gan Jiang Moye is a slag in front of it..."

Chen Ying did not brag that high manganese steel is a stamping and wear-resistant alloy steel, which is mainly used in quarry, mining, excavation, coal industry, casting and steel industry. Of course, it is called iron cutting like mud and will never have exaggerated components, because high manganese steel itself is the best tool for cutting steel. First of all, the hardness of high manganese steel is very high, and it can reach a Brinell hardness of 50 to 550. If converted into Rockwell hardness, it is between 50 to 555 Rockwell hardness. High manganese steel has extremely strong tensile strength, which can reach 1,700 to 1,900 MPA.

Li Jiancheng looked at the Mo Dao in the hands of the fifty Mo Dao in front of him in amazement. The back of the Mo Dao was very thick, like a heavy steel plate, but the blade was thinner than paper. The only difference was that the entire blade was, even in the sun, it still did not reflect, but the blade was like snow, with a cold light, slowly flowing, and a biting cold light. The fifty Mo Dao masters neatly put away the Mo Dao, raised the blade, and made another attack. A cold and bloodthirsty majestic momentum suddenly appeared, making people shudder.

Li Xiuning couldn't help but exclaim: "Good knife, good knife!"

Li Jiancheng took a deep breath of air conditioning, his voice trembling slightly: "What a good knife, a big ring knife, a ring-head knife, a horizontal knife..." Li Jiancheng thought that the knife that could be called in his head could be compared with Mo Dao. He had to admit that there was really no knife that could be compared with Mo Dao.

Chen Ying was very proud. Although Modao was not his original creation, according to historical records, the Modao in the Tang Dynasty was popular between the Tang Dynasty Gaozong (Li Zhi) Diaolu (679 AD to 680 AD) and the tenth year of Kaiyuan. At the beginning, Modao was used to fight against the Turkic cavalry, but later in the army, it was popular with the "Four Barbarians" of the Tang Dynasty, which was dominated by cavalry. The perfect Jiedu system in the Tang Dynasty made the army's equipment and training more regular, and Modao became one of the main combat weapons of the Tang infantry and became conventional equipment. The establishment of the Jiedu system made the town recruit soldiers and horses, and established medium-sized cavalry. The cavalry played an important role, which made the weapon to restrain cavalry-Modao popular until the late Tang Dynasty.

Chen Ying asked Modao to appear sixty years in advance. Of course, the Tang Dynasty Modao in history was cast from high-carbon steel, and Chen Ying used high-manganese steel for the material of Modao. Compared with high-carbon steel, the advantages of high-manganese steel are obvious. In terms of impact resistance, high-manganese steel is more than three times that of high-carbon steel. In other words, unless more than three times the impact force is used, the Modao will not break at all.

Chen Yingze continued to show off to Li Jiancheng: "Mo Dao is the overlord among the swords. It inherits the heroic and boldness of the former Han Dynasty and will create unparalleled glory on the battlefield. Wearing heavy armor, pushing like a wall, under one knife, the people and horses are broken... The heavy infantry in the Tang Dynasty holding the Mo Dao will become a nightmare for the Turks, Tubo, Tuyuhun, Khitan, Xueyantuo and other tribes."

Li Jiancheng was very excited inside. Li Shi owned the only black armored iron cavalry in the Tang Dynasty. This was a heavy cavalry formed by the Tang Dynasty. This cavalry followed the armored cavalry established by the Xianbei Murong Yan State during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. According to the "Song History·Yiwei Zhi": "Armored cavalry is human armor; clothing is horse armor." The clothing of the Southern and Northern Dynasties consists of six parts, namely the face curtain, the chicken neck, the chest, the horse armor, and the back is parasitic. The face curtain is a narrow metal protective surface with eye holes on it, mainly protecting the face of the horse;

The chicken neck is actually a pair of armor on the neck of the horse, made of armor, with a buckle on the front to buckle it. When the chest is used, it is a large piece of armor behind the horse; and the parasitic is more distinctive, it is a broom-like thing placed at the tail of the horse (it should be to protect the back of the cavalry). In addition, the only unit in the Tang Dynasty that was modified with the Gaoqiao saddle and double-sided stirrup was the Tang Dynasty's Xuan Armor Iron Cavalry. The armor of the Xuan Armor Cavalry was changed from two-sided armor to Mingguang Armor, and the fighting weapons of the cavalry were also changed from halberds to long-blade horse spears - spears.

Li Shimin's Xuanjia cavalry shone brightly during the battle of Qianshuiyuan. He defeated nearly two cavalry of Xiliang under Xue Renguo's command in one battle. In the case of a block, defeating the Xiliang cavalry was enough to proudly roar the world. Although the number of Xiliang cavalry was not large and far from comparable to the Turkic cavalry, the Turks did not dare to invade the Qinliang area rashly because they were really afraid of the fierce Xiliang cavalry. Under the same number of people, the Turkic cavalry was no match for the Xiliang cavalry.

Li Jiancheng had long wanted to follow Li Shimin to form a heavy cavalry affiliated to the Eastern Palace. However, the treasury was very tight at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. Even if he had the intention, he would not have the financial resources. You should know that a Xuan Armored Cavalry had an equipment value equivalent to twenty light cavalry. When the Tang Dynasty had no place to raise horses, he could only make up for this disadvantage. Now the Tang Dynasty has all the horse-raising places in Longxi, Hexi, and the Tang Dynasty had no need to use such expensive materials to equip such a gorgeous cavalry.

Now looking at this small team of Modao, Li Jiancheng was very excited. Chen Ying said to Li Jiancheng: "Your Highness, look at the Mingguang armor on their bodies, although they are the same as ordinary Mingguang armor, but because they have adopted high manganese steel with stronger impact pressure as armor blades, they have better defense capabilities than the original Mingguang armor. The front breastplate can only be damaged by using more than three stone crossbows within thirty steps. However, within this distance, the three stone crossbows have no chance to fire..."

A green glow appeared in Li Jiancheng's eyes.

Li Xiuning looked at Mingguang armor and said to Chen Ying: "I must give me one hundred sets of such armor. And Mo Dao, I must give me one hundred handles!"

Seeing that Chen Ying had not spoken for a long time, Li Xiuning thought that the prince must have used the convenience of getting the moon before the water tower. Chen Ying himself could not make a decision, and he would definitely not be able to take responsibility for such a large amount of financial resources. Li Xiuning thought for a while and said, "Then there are fifty..."

Chen Ying smiled slightly and said, "A hundred sets are not enough. At least one personal guard Zhechong Mansion must be equipped."

Li Xiuning nodded, very satisfied.

Chen Ying said: "But, forget it, that thing is too heavy for the Detachment of Women!"

Li Xiuning showed her little daughter's appearance that she had never shown before, and pouted and looked at Chen Ying with a fierce look.

Chen Ying was calm and waved to Chen Jinyong.

Chen Jinyong held a scabbard made of calfskin and handed it to Chen Ying. Chen Ying took the knife and pressed it on the handle of the knife. His wrist was slightly pressed, and a cold light poured out from the scabbard.

The knife is only three feet long, and the handle is nearly two feet long, much shorter and much narrower than the Mo Dao. However, it is like the Mo Dao, and it is dark all over, slightly different from the horizontal knife. It actually has a graceful curve and a slender blade body, exuding a strong murderous aura.

Li Xiuning hurriedly snatched the long sword from Chen Ying's hand and casually made a sword flower. The sound of the sharp blade breaking through the air was clear and long.

"Good knife!"

Li Xiuning smiled and said, "It's not light or heavy, it's definitely a terrible killing weapon."

As he said that, Li Xiuning smiled at Chen Yingyanran: "You are so nice to me!"

Li Jiancheng saw that Li Xiuning was about to press on Chen Ying, and couldn't help but cough: "This is not a place to talk, let's go in and talk!"
